- why would anybody sell to a coin dealer? of course businessmen yan, they'll makeall sorts of excuse / tawad to maximize their profits, with this logic a 1903 largepiso is then only worth around Php1,100 kasi yun lang ang buying price ng coin dealer?

"the u.s. mint is currently selling 2011 uncirculated set at $31.95 plus $4.95 shipping charge. or 1,600.00 peso. the set is composed of Philadelphia set (P mint mark) or sometimes without mint mark. and Denver set (D mint mark). total two sets. this set come with complete box and certificate of authenticity. missing any would become face value. the face value is only $13.82. and since it is only face value. you can just use it anyway or keep it for souvenir."

- i believe this is too much... does this mean a proof silver eagle with no box andcoa also becomes a souvenir? or junk silver value? or worse face value at $1?

- also this statement sounds like the us mint is like a sari-sari sa kanto na ganun lang kasimple bumili, even at $31.95 + $4.95, it failed to account the customs dutiesand taxes that you have to pay for when claiming your shipped goods from other countries, which based on my experience is easily +20% or higher pag greedy yunginspector

PLEASE DO NOT FAIL TO CONSIDER THE FACT NA NASA PILIPINAS TAYO, a better advice wouldbe is to watch auctions on ebay international to gauge the fair values of coins, because if this set is only worth Php300, then GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PULOT-PULOTCOLLECTIONS, peace, just my 2 cents

generally what i'm saying is that don't be too kuripot, it's a hobby after all, premiums WILL exist as long as there is demand, coin collecting is regarded as the "hobby of kings", add some prestige naman to our hobby, kasi if you're not willing to pay premium, then its not coin collecting anymore, treasure hunting na tawag dun, good luck achieving completion with that mentality kasi kung sobrang babaratin mo mga sellers wala ka talaga mabibili and hanggang tingin ka nalang, although be wary din of course with sellers / fishers na sobrang taas naman tumobo, just look at the "sulit factor" if you think its sulit then buy it, coz after all, the 1933 st. gaudens double eagle sold for $7,590,000

tinamaan ka ba? bakit guilty ka ba? im just pointing out the truth, if you can't handle it, maybe it would be best to keep quiet, always remember, bato-bato sa langit... besides you're taking it out of context

don't forget that bad advice is more detrimental than no advice at all

very well said, everyone please remember that we are all here to support and help each other, let us learn to take criticism and opposite opinions with a grain of salt, and please stop giving bad advice to newbies... kawawa naman din mga sellers who are selling at fair prices tapos maga-advice kayo ng 300 pesos, please do the math and be more sensible in giving opinions, collectors nga tayo tapos you're giving advice on currency exchange....

oh and btw, i've checked with the us mint website, international shipping is $14.95 + $2.95 handling fee, add that to $31.95 + the %20 customs and duties charge, isipin nyo nalang how you ruined it for the guy asking and you gave a php300 advice, from now on lagi na nakatatak sa utak nyan yung 300 na advice nyo and guess what, wala syang mabibili sa kapipilit nya sa 300 na yan, kawawa naman yung collection nya hindi uusad, oh and btw, please do not advice na pag wala yung box na instant face value nalang yung coins, mint sealed pa rin yung set and let's say na opened na yun and tingi tingi na yung coins, uncirculated condition pa rin yun and it doesn't necessarily mean na face value na agad yung coins, sure an incomplete, opened or unboxed set may decrease the NUMISMATIC VALUE of a coin but it does not deminish the NUMISMATIC INTEREST, therefore as long as may mintage limit, collector interest, IT WILL NEVER EVER BE TREATED AT FACE VALUE

hello!!! usa mint set lang pinag uusapan hindi 1906 peso, people collect these kinds of coins for interest and fun, not for investment, saka mali ang tingin mo siguro dahil panay fakes lang ang kino-collect mo, and i also have plenty of rare coins including the 1906 peso, regular usa coins like quarters and dollars are collected for fun, i just can't understand why you would bitch about a cheap-ass set and make it cheaper, oh forgive me, hindi pala cheap yun para sayo coz after all fakes lang ang afford mo

In my opinion Newbie, kaya may mga nagrereact sa posts mo... its not because of the fact that you are expressing your opinion, its HOW YOU deliver your opinion...

i remember, i posted my DOS MUNDOS, THEN YOUR COMMENT WAS, "ANO BA YAN BINABAD SA ASIDO BAKIT NAPAKAPUTI".... you dont seem professional, infact, filipinonumismatist said my coin was not fake, yet you made such comment already even before looking at the details of the coin, nag judge ka agad na binabad sa acido etc etc... without even considering it might have been how i took the picture.... for your info, i scanned the coin...

anyway, this is useless... i just find some of the comments you make absurd... parang batang nakikipag away.Pwede naman mag comment kahit sino, just make sure to use PROPER words, and before posting, read your posts a hundred times and put yourself in the shoes of the reader.....

I have been a member of different forums coins and otherwise both local and international, never have I dislike a person as much as I dislike this newbie guy. newbie nga ang ugali. you will learned a lot from a person by just reading his writings. I don't know what category I will put newbie's in: a guy who acts like a teenager who seems to know everything or a guy who acts like a 5 years old boy who doesn't seems to know anything.

newbie, you may have a thousand "hoards" but the fact is: there's no amount of hoards: gold or "rare coins" that could masked your character and kawalang asal. magsama nalang kayo sa hoards mo, for sure like your coins itself - you belong to the ages - the dinosaur ages.

Ciao! Have a happy life with your fake hoards!

the increase in the rate of gold does not have much effect on me... cause peso is strengthening against dollar... in my computation, even if rate of gold has increased by almost 400 dollars since the last rate i bought it, im still "lugi" now cause dollar was high against the peso that time....
